Deep dives

The Call to Action for Christians

Following Jesus is about translating belief into action, particularly through a lifestyle of generosity. The essence of this teaching emerges from the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus emphasizes that those who not only hear His words but implement them are like wise builders. The growing network of individuals identifying as Christians reflects this commitment to not just intellectual assent but practical application of faith through good deeds and community involvement. By choosing to embody generosity, individuals contribute meaningful change to their communities, enhancing their witness to those outside of the faith.
